Hand made in the traditional way, with no cutting of corners, by Northamptonshire shoemakers, Joseph Cheaney & Sons. Sturdy Chelsea boot with classic brogue detailing in English, almond grain, hand burnished leather. British-made Dainite rubber sole and Goodyear welt for water resistance. When the soles or heels wear, they can be returned to Cheaney who – for a reasonable charge – will put the shoe back on its original last, completely remove sole from upper and replace. 100% leather. Made in the UK.
